make your own reddit

This won’t be news to some of you, but we’ve opened up user-created reddits to the public — in 3 flavors!

public reddit: just like the current reddits, anyone can view and submit to them.

restricted reddit: anyone to view the content, but only invited members may submit, comment, or vote.

private reddit: like a restricted reddit, but with the additional restriction that only members can view the content as well. Moderators of a reddit will be able to remove posts and ban users from their reddits.

We learned a long time ago that there are things you all as a community can do that we — as a team of 5 — couldn’t possibly do. Creating different verticals for reddit is just one more area where we know our community can do a better job identifying and growing successful reddits. Our first new community, programming.reddit was created because users explicitly told us they wanted a place for users interested in programming to share links and discussion.
